As many as 262 Assistant Professors and 88 Junior Executive Assistants joined the state government. According to an official press release, a Nijukti parba program was held at the State Convention Centre in Lok Seva Bhawan for this purpose.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik stated that making our children employable or self-employed is one of the most important issues for higher education.
Then he went on to say that there is a need for our students to leave their institutes more secure in their ability to make a difference in their own lives and, ultimately, in society. Teachers and academics play an important part in this situation. Aside from effective instruction, they should encourage confidence, inspire positivity, and give their life meaning. Only a teacher can successfully achieve this. He stated that he has complete trust in all of the lecturers and professors. He expressed optimism that they will be able to successfully transform the pupils into valuable assets to our country.
The CM congratulated the assistant professors and stated that higher education is an important platform for students to enter the world of professional careers. Students can take divergent career options and contribute to society in various capacities. So this is one key sector, where we are increasingly putting our focus on, he added.

He went on to say that the position of Junior Executive Assistant in the State Secretariat is particularly important. They are here to serve the people of Odisha as government employees. Their honesty and dedication to their employment would be vital to our efforts to transform Odisha. He expected them to do their absolute best in the service of our state.
